A telephone coaching program can improve the quality of life (QoL) of parents with asthmatic children by helping to improve disease management at home, US research suggests.

Writing in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Jane Garbutt (Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Missouri, USA) and colleagues explain that among children with asthma "care is often episodic, with underuse of controller medications and inadequate home management of acute exacerbations."

They add: "Consequently, many children with asthma live with frequent symptoms and activity limitations, and visits for urgent care are common."
